To maintain the safety of patrons and staff and prevent the spread of COVID-19, wellness centre use will look different upon re-opening. This includes the requirement for all weight room users to reserve their time slot in advance. Reservations allow us to ensure physical distancing is maintained and provide time for additional cleaning. Please also be advised of the following in place for your safety:
* Maximum 20 participants in the Weight Room at one time.
* Reservations required. No drop-ins permitted at this time.
* Do not use the facility if you or a household member are sick. Cancel your reservation by phone at 250.412.8500 at least one-hour before scheduled time to receive a credit.
* Wash or sanitize your hands before and after your visit.
* Follow physical distancing – stay 2 metres apart (no congregating).
* Clean equipment before and after use with provided disinfectant and paper towel.
* Do not bring valuables. Lockers are not available at this time.
* Adhere to the reserved time block selected. Late departures not permitted.
